| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" @hilde45 I totally agree about a good sounding room. That's what good mixing rooms are. Studio recordings may or may not feature the acoustic space of the original recording. But the artist/producer/engineer work hard to create the space they ... | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" @hilde45 I understand that in the real world people are used to listening to their rather live rooms and it might sound strange in a treated room. But once your brain tunes into the sound emanating from the speakers you start hearing the room th... | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" My background is in recording studios and I couldn't imagine trying to put a system together without first doing basic room treatment. Between standing waves and reverb time, I would find it impossible to evaluate gear. It's a somewhat trial and e... | |
| LOOKING TO IMPROVE THE ACOUSTICS OF MY LISTENING ROOM Given your location, you might look for a Pro Studio designer who can create a specific plan for your room. GIK is a good online resource and has quality products but every room is unique and an experienced designer can take your budget and custom... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? NYC, 1967 RKO Theater I saw The Who open for Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. Poor Mitch. After the drum kit fire, it was hard to impress. | |
| "...and I don't take any advertiser money..." One thing to consider is when reviewing HEA, there are rarely objectively "bad" products to review.

| R2R next? Don't like ESS +1 for the Schiit BitFrost 2/64. No ESS chips and clever engineering to use 4 chips to optimize performance. Like most Schiit products, it's a phenomenal bargain. I'll upgrade mine eventually but it'll take something special to impress me. | |

| Anyone replace the springs of a Nobsound footer? I had the same problem. I replaced them with SVS isolation footers. They're amazing. | |
| Spiritual/soul jazz from early 70s and later. Here's one you might not know. Soul Flutes - Trust In Me I bought this in 1968. It was considered an "underground" album at the time. The story was that all the musicians were on an LSD trip during the sessions. Don't know if that's true. It'... | |

| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? I love radio but I usually stream it now. It's still the best way to find new music. | |

| ???Safely Trading Gear Between Private Parties??? I did a trade on USAM last year. The other party and I exchanged several emails, establishing trust and a way for us both to feel comfortable. We talked about packing, shipping, and insurance. Then we exchanged photos of our gear packed and labele... |
